教师驻校项目

Every resident seminar has a racial equity session that connects to the broader scope of our work. We encourage our residents to confront the ways in which social constructs, especially those within education, have an impact on students, families, and communities.

We believe that clear is kind. We have developed a comprehensive performance management plan for residents that prepares residents for their teaching experience within KIPP schools and aligns to proven best practices for effective teaching. Teacher skills and development have been intentionally scaffolded throughout the year and adapted to meet the needs of our current virtual learning environment.

We communicate early with principals and our human resources team to ensure that residents have what they need to receive an offer of employment in the spring.

Our residency started in 2017 and over 70% of our alumni are still working with KIPP Northern California — many of them taking on leadership roles at their schools.

Our mentors are the foundation of our residents’ development. We coordinate with school leadership to ensure that residents are matched with strong mentor teachers for the year. Additionally, our mentor teachers participate in monthly professional development sessions geared towards enhancing their instructional coaching practices and sharpening their racial equity lens.
